I've never seen chicken litter pellets so not sure how it spreads, we have chicken litter, spreading it in a standard fertilizer spreader doesn't work well as it keeps bridging and doesn't spread at a even rate.
Also a 6 ton spreader will only hold a couple tons of litter and we spread at a rate of 2+ tons per acre.
What is the application rate for pelletized litter?
Our litter spreader has a 32" wide chain but spreading at 2 tons per acre the gate is open 4-6". Last time we spread with a standard 20" chain spreader we had the gate full open barely getting 2 tons per.
I prefer the longer bottomed skid steer style bucket over tractor loader buckets, the longer bottom will skim over the ground and not dig a bad. Because litter is so light I had a local welder build me a bucket for loading litter, 84" wide, 36" deep, 32" high, holds around 1500 lb of litter per scoop.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
